Trouble installing TomTom 5 (Cab Files) - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Hi,
When coyping cab files across to the pocket pc, all the cab files belonging to TomTom install, except the main TT cab, it just comes up with an error.
Also does anyone knowwhy after installing tomtom voice 4/5 cant be foumd by TOMTOM. i managed to install totom by manually extracting the files from the cab file! except it crash on run, I belive this to do with the fact it odes not fime the voice files?
Using WM2005 as the OS
Cheers

Where does it crash?
I've installed the cabs on my wm2005 Himalaya and it crashes on first run..
I can select the language, and define the standard settings (km/miles, time notation etc) than I come to the voice part, which also works..
But after activating the map, it crashes.. The strange thing is, it worked when I installed it on OS 1.50f.. After upgrading to 1.50h it doesn't work anymore (even when I downgraded to 1.50f)..
However, I did install Tomtom 4.4 on my 1.50f installation before installing Tomtom5... I'll try it again.. I hope it works.

Tomtom 5 install
I also had to install 4.4 first ( and config it ), and then Tomtom5
Otherwise it would crash when configuring

Hi dherrero,
I had the same problem and downgraded to WM2003SED.
With WM2003SE it works perfect
I dont want to downgrade and tomtom 4.40 works well with magneto. What is happening??
I don't no.
Because i can't figured it out and i need TT i downgraded to WM2003SE.
When somebody knows that it wil work i upgrade again.
Maybe others can help you. :?:
Good Luck
You can copy the files out of the cab files and manually place them in the required directories, here a list of the files from the (ttn.cab) and where they go
Program Files\Navigator\data.chk
Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe
My Documents\TomTom\CurrentMap.dat
I use WinCe Cab Manager to extract the files
Hope this is of soem use!

Thanks It works...
Activation Codes for Tomtom5 UK map
anyone have a code or work around for this??
How do you get tt5 to recongnise you have another map on the SD card???? anyone ????
It must be a map specific for tomtom5.0. Older maps doesnt work in tomtom5
Tomtom5 crashes continuesly..
And when Tomtom is installed and I want to sync my device in my cradle, device.exe en gwes.exe will crash also and need to softreset before sync will work again.
I deinstalled all tomtom components, and sync'n will work flawlessly... but after unpacking the cab files and start Tomtom Navigator.exe I'll get the same problem again..
In which order did you install the cabfiles?
edit: Older maps seem to work with tomtom5; all you need to do is edit the apn file in the old map folder and change the last number (map version) to the version of the tomtom5 you've got.
can't select voice, although i installed several voice cabs...
tom does not recocnize the voice file, but it is there (\tomtom\dataXX)
voice does work on wm2003
tomtom 5.0 crashes
Yes, tomtom 5.0 crashs sometimes. In my case, when i try to manage witch poi's categories to see in the map the sometimes it crash. I dont know if the problem is magneto or tomtom 5.0 but tomtom4.4 worked well. I hope tomtom releases a fix....

TTN5 using older maps...
Krypt,
You say all you need to change is the pna file? I have some TTN2 USA Maps and have changed the .pna file to 562 and it still only finds my Great Britain TTN5 map.
Any advice?

Problems with installing TomTom5 on WM2005

Hi,
I'm trying to install TomTom5 on WM2005. When I start TomTom's setup.exe I choose language and after that "install the application" choice. It shows me list of software which will be installed on my device (TomTom, GPS, Today, Bleutooth Support, English - Jane (GB)). After clicking right arrow I get error message "TomTom Setup Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." and setup won't go any further. Has anybody else had similar problems with installing?
You need to copy the cab files over to the PDA and run them from there.
then follow this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=22706&highlight=
Followed your instructions and got TomTom installed. But now it's tomtom navigator.exe crashing. Doesn't TomTom have support for wm2005? Would be nice to know if there'll be patch to make installation with setup.exe work without crashing. Meanwhile my only chance seems to be to downgrade back to wm2003se.
Do you have the legal version of tomtom?
I used the illegal (couldn't wait for my update) and needed to install/run tomtom 4 on my pda before running tomtom 5; otherwise it would crash after selecting a map.
I had the problem with TomTom crashing, caused by the version of WM2005.. Now using Rom Version as 1.50g.00WWE, and all is ok
As for the version of tomtom yes im using the illegal version orderd the real thing on the 4th June.. and I'm still awaiting for it to drop through the postbox.. tomtom support page claims it still in the warehouse! although I now see i have been billed :x

TomTom 6.010 on WM6

Hi, Ive just installed TomTom 6.010 on WM6, but I can never get a GPS signal.
If I go to configure my GPS device in TOMTOM, which type of receiver do I select? The NMEA GPS? (I'm assuming this is COM5:9600, too)
Please help lol
Mines set up as:
Other NMEA GPS reciever
GPS Baud Rate 57600
Com 4
and Tomtom 6 works perfectly.
I had to use the tomtom 6 patch listed in an earlier post as my tomtom wouldn't work under Win Mobile 6, have you had to do the same.
It takes 5 to 10 minutes to find GPS signal some times (spesialy for the first time)
On some ROM versions it is immidiate. experiment...
My Com port is 0, but before i pair it with my HTC.
I use original Tom-Tom GPS

Excuse me, but I'm a bit confused...what exactly are you pairing with the HTC? The GPS?
Why are you using external BT GPS instead of the internal one? is it due to low satellite reception?...cause I do this as well, since I have sun shields on my car, and the BT GPS is placed on the shield on a clear location where the reception is much better.
The internal is mapped to Port 4, but actually it is on Port 5.
cheers thanks. works great now
i havent had to update tomtom at all yet, but im not using a particularly kosher version *ahem* (although i do have a tomtom 6 lisence, just not for the maps im using)
If you run QUICK GPS BEFORE opening tomtom it finds the satellites pretty fast (at least for me). If I do not run it tomtom takes a long time to locate the satellites.

you should be using the update 6.030 for TomTom 6 with devices with internal GPS

?? well i have 6.0.10 and it works beside the fact that the menu is not visible (but clicking opens the settings box etc).
The main question i have:
How can i add an additional map manually? I have GB + major roads of WE. I have France maps. Just copying is not enough... so what else can i do?

You should only have to copy the map subdirectory (probably called France for this map) into the root of your SD card and Tomtom will be able to find it.
Location of TomTom 6.x patch for Windows Mobile 6?
A search of this forum does not seem to reveal the location of the latest TomTom Navigator 6.x patch that allows said software that I just purchased to run on my newly purchased x7501, which has the Windows Mobile 6 2.19 ROM code flashed.
What / where is the latest TomTom 6.x patch?
Is there a later, proven, "better" 2.x WM6 ROM available?
Alternately, what tools are used to develop the ROM flash code and application patches?
Thanks,
Tom

If you're looking for tools there is a section within the forum for this and you can also check multiple Wiki pages.
TomTom 6.x works well on my Athena running WM6. Never had to install a patch to get it to work.

To add to that, I normally do not do any settings. I just install after every flash and start the program and leave device near my window and go off to have a coffee. After several minutes it sees the sats, and maps etc. That is it. The rest is automatic the next time I start and goes faster.
Alway s have the maps and voices folders installed (copied) to card.

if i don´t have sd card the tomtom 6.030 don´t works ??? i installed on microdrive but don´t find the maps ???? any idea??? thanks
Its cause your copy of TT6 (6030) isn't correctly hacked to allow the use of the maps you have.. Try another mod/hack
No success
I am having no success installing TomTom Navigator HOME 6.010 on my x7501, which has the 2.19 WM6 ROM flash.
I have unsuccessfully tried twiddling the user interface settings that seem as if they may affect the outcome.
When executed on a laptop running Vista, without WM5torage, the installation program does not recognize the x7501 as a valid installation location. Attempting installation while running WM5torage 1.75 causes a WM5torage hang and the x7501 needs a reset to connect to a laptop running Vista, and results in a "<file name> not found" error message after WM5torage ceases functioning. One file might get copied, most often none get copied successfully.
Installing from various locations and combinations with the ppc cab file results in a "Installation of <cab file> failed" message, to the system, microdrive and/or the 4GB microSDHC card.
Though new to the xda and mobile device space, I am reasonably experienced otherwise. As painful as this might be for both of us, please tell me, step by step, how you successfully installed TomTom Navigator HOME 6.010 onto your x7501. Please do not assume anything, as I have likely missed something simple. I would need to know the versions of software used, e.g. ROM, WM5torage, Navigator.
According to the TomTom web site, Navigator 6 on WM6 is not supported.
Thank you,
Tom
Someone has another version here. You need legal maps to use

I had a similar problem installing the retail/downloaded copy of TomTom onto my device. I called TomTom support and they couldn't figure it out. I eventually figured out where the installation files were, extracted them and moved them over to my SD card. Then I installed them from there without any problem. I asked tech support to document the procedure I implemented to get this done in case they have other people with the same problem. Hope this helps. I'm slammed with work now or else I would look to see which files I used and post the info. I'm sure if you're familiar with installing CABs from the device you'll be able to tinker around a bit and find them. One thing I remember is that I had to extract the CAB on the CD or DVD before I was able to access the actual installation files. The first CAB is the archive and the CABs inside the archive are the installation files.
6.030 officially out-
Actually, Tomtom has officially released this update...
http://www.tomtom.com/support/product.php?ID=1401&Language=4&query=update&FID=6814
Basically, d/l the latest version of TT Home, insert your mem card or connect the device (mem card only 4 Vista), and click the D/L button on the above page.
Then follow the instructions. If it doesn't install, then you can manually pull the
cab file from:
(C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\TomTom\HOME\Downloads).
Then open with Winrar, and extract the ttn.cab file located in the 2577 folder.
Transfer to the card/device, run it, and you should be good to go.
Last note: Palm has an official update available on their site here:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/gps_nav.html
which appears to be the same exact file (same size).
Hope that helps...
hey guys i just want to copy the tomtom map to the microdrive via activesync but when trying to copy cline.dat i have an error what can i do to copy this file to the microdrive?

Newest version of TomTom Navigator supports StarTrek

The newest version of TomTom Navigator supports non touch screen devices.
I stumbled in this information by accident and thought it would be usefull over here.
I've tested it on a HTC StarTrek (qtek 8500 etc) with a WM 6.1 standard ROM and it works like a charm with the newest maps.
No more FakeCursor needed, you can scroll and use numeric keypad.
Version is: 7.915.9196.
Because of slightly warez related.....google is our best friend.
That's nice,
I can't even get it installed on my device. Always says installation unsuccesful.
I also have WM6.1 and same version of Tomtom.
Do you have any ideas?
If you have an older version installed on your device just unzip the new cab on your PC and rename following files:
TOMTOM~1.001 --> TomTom Navigator.exe
0000DATA.002 --> data.chk
Put the 2 renamed files in the same folder as your original installation (overwrite).
This should work.
If you don't have TT on your device, check if it's application unlocked, if not make sure it is and try again.
If nothing works, try to find a TTN 7 version that you don't have to install at all (it does excist) and use the two renamed files from above to upgrade if needed.
pm me if your out of options.
Hope it helps.

Gps bt-com ttn7 wm5
Ciao,
thank you very much for this information, i just tryed out TTN7 on my StrTrk with the original WM5 ROM.
It seems, that you need the "BLUE" Version of TomTom Navigator 7, because scrolling in the "Black" Version isn't possible and additonal, hitting the "enter" Button causes a doubleclick.
So TomTom is running and seems to be a lot faster than TTM5.2, especially entering cities now works fine.
Everythings fine so long, BUT TTN7 won't finde my BT-GPS-Mouse: Selecting the mous is similar to TTM'5.2 but I need to choose the Com-Port...but non of the four alternatives work: it should be "Serial over Com1" but TomTom won't connect. I have TTM5.2 still installed...and it works fine with the GPS Reciever...(of course its paired, and on etc...)
Does anyone has an idea or the same prob?
thx

[Q] can't install cab anymore on htc hd2

when i try to install cab from file explorer in htc hd2 it gives the message
"this program is from an unknown publisher.You should intall only if you trust its publisher.Do you want to continue?
when i press "yes" it gives me message that "installation of cab was unsuccessful"
i have enough space on my phone and memory card.
i have tried to download cab a no. of tomes
also this is happening with all cabs eg:fpsce,YAHOOMAIL
PLEASE HELP
I have the same problem! Need assistance!
Guys try installing this .cab to device. Then you should be able to install apps again
Nop, this cab also canot be installed.
Can't install or unninstall anymore..
I have the same problem!
Can't install or unninstall anymore..
Can you install from known publishers or is the probelm with only unkwon publishers?
* THIS * might help
it happens with all CAB's and the problem is not only with install, I also can't unninstall. Omarket, WM Market and XDA Market can't also unninstall..
It's a common application lock problem.
The solution that I always use is quite simple.
1. If you have Regedit installed and working use that one. If not download Mobile Registry Editor. Unpack the files, connect your phone through Activesync and open Mobile Registry Editor, you now should be in the registry of your phone.
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies
3. Change the value of 0000101a from 0 to 1
4. soft reboot
Works for me every time.
didn't worked
I had the same problem, tried everything but issue resolved after hard reset.
Cant install any cab
Im among many that seem to be unable to install any cab after flashing CleanEx ROM 6.5.x (sorry , I cant post there!) but no fix appears to be evident.
Has anyone resolved this?
click on a cab and nothing happens (Im well experienced at flashing, installation etc on an HTC Vogue NFSFAN ROM) but this on HTC [email protected] has me beat!
